Chapter 1483 The Reward of Loyalty

"In just two months, when the East decided to enter the market, the entire water world changed."

In terms of international politics and military, the East is an exception among the powerful countries on Earth. Unlike those countries that make a lot of noise but do little, they generally do things without saying anything.

"We don't need publicity, at least, not before we succeed."

In a sense, this is determined by its system, because many Western countries, such as Citigroup, are vote politics. They need achievements and reputation in exchange for votes, and therefore many important strategic decisions look absurd and short-sighted in retrospect. It is too normal for the next term to overturn the decision of the previous term. Even many successors have spent more than half of their term just to overturn the greatest historical achievement of the previous term.

The advantages and disadvantages of the political system are not discussed here, but only a relatively stable regime and development strategy. In terms of long-term development and layout, the advantages are too obvious.

The development of the Nirvana era has further magnified this reality. When Western countries develop a world, they often have major companies rushing in, followed by private individuals and small teams, complete free competition, and complete market competition.

Sounds good? When food is sold at sky-high prices and ordinary medicines are charged directly by micrograms, no matter how much small and medium-sized teams earn, they are working for the big sharks in vain.

In the end, it is still a winner-takes-all situation. Under the premise of no supervision, "healthy competition promotes development", 99% of them will evolve into "monopolists eat everything", and one or several large groups will become 80% to 90% of the profit harvesters.

This is only part of it. The most fatal is that infrastructure, diplomacy, communication with local residents, exploration of local resources and other short-term work that cannot see results are either simply not done or just done in a perfunctory manner.

In order to obtain sufficient profit income, some large companies will even directly provoke conflicts among local indigenous peoples and let them fall into vendettas to obtain more resources, slaves and land.

"Although they have a bad reputation, those indigenous people are unlikely to leave their own world, so it doesn't matter if they are a little worse."

From the perspective of the development decision-makers of the East Country, this seems too short-sighted.

Compared with extorting villages in primitive society, the East Country expects a longer-term and more valuable "trading channel". The short-term exploitation of those colonies is destined to rebel because of the growth of the colonies, and the suzerain country becomes an enemy.

In order to suppress their resistance, they must suppress their growth. In the end, they can only make a few profits by exploiting primitive society and feudal society, and the benefits they get will naturally become less and less.

The East Country expects more valuable "allies" or "joint ventures" rather than slaves without power and prospects. The pure materials and resources of the other world are not of much value.

Technology, deep-processed products, especially extraordinary "rules" and "world principles", and the "high-level combat power" that can be cultivated in the other world are more valuable.

The times are different. Pure exploitation of materials and population may not even be as good as freight.

". Low-level arms, food and daily necessities, they really plan to operate for a long time."

The official control of these is not to do anything, but to prevent some people from losing their minds and doing something messy.

Today's new world is the real "Qing Dynasty". There are powerful enemies invading from outside, warlords are separatist at home, and the nominal "government" can only command its own direct line.

Under such circumstances, since the Dongguo government has decided to invest a large sum of money, it will not entrust its lifeline to the church or the local government.

Lu Ping'an is probably the one who can best understand Dongguo's approach. In a sense, this is the advantage brought by the vision of two eras. More importantly, Lu Ping'an and his Rebirth Merchant Group are emerging forces that are lightly equipped. They do not have such high revenue pressure and will not fight with the top for a little benefit.

"Brother, you are a bit cruel. Aren't you really afraid of being beaten?"

Some bigwigs in Linnu's Church are so big that it is difficult to turn around. It is not realistic to ask them to give up their shares.

Lu Ping'an did not persuade them. It involves astronomical interests. Persuading them will only offend them.

At this moment, Lu Ping'an also felt that Dongguo was in trouble. This slightly involved a little interest, which would cause internal chaos. The other side of these bigwigs of the Orthodox Church who are responsible for their own profits and losses and do not want salaries is that they always prioritize their own interests.

Lu Ping'an did not try to interfere.

"Let the official people handle this kind of troublesome matter."

Lu Ping'an did make a small report to let the people there pay attention. He was quite rational. Although he was nominally a senior member of the Linnu Church, his essence was always an official supernatural person of the East Country.

Blind loyalty that seemed to lose his own interests was actually a long-term view. As long as Lu, who had demonstrated strategic value, continued to be "loyal", he would be able to get everything.

". Really nice."

And Lu Ping'an's "report" and "loyalty" were responded to within two days.

A military order for underwater lanterns (lantern grass) was sent over, and a professional team was also sent over, consisting of several law-level gardeners and more than a dozen curse-level gardeners. They would help Lu Ping'an complete his plan.

The former was a long-term benefit, and the latter was a great gift that Lu Ping'an could not refuse.

"It turned out that they were professors from Wanjing University and Jingyan Academy."

Some things and some resources can only be given by the official.

Lu Pingan made rapid progress, but he still had some shortcomings in the main path. Although the professors and teaching assistants who were specially transferred here were nothing in terms of strength and level, they were all well-known experts and scholars in the country in the real academic field.

They were a bit like Professor Wen back then. They were all botanists first and then extraordinary gardeners. Their academic accumulation and research methods were far beyond their level.

What Lu Pingan needed most was this "knowledge" and the "research methods" to obtain knowledge.

". The academic institutions in Wanjing are also willing to cooperate with you."

Looking at the "experts" in front of him who were so friendly and even a little humble, Lu Pingan was a little surprised.

Unconsciously, he seemed to have become a real behemoth. Even if he was placed in the entire East Country's sphere of influence, Lu Pingan could be called a "high-level force".

Lu Pingan did not refuse, nor did he put on a high profile. On the contrary, he took the attitude of a disciple and even took the initiative to mention his famous thesis.

In the research of magic plants, Lu Pingan may not have enough accumulation, but he really has no shortage of results. His speed-promoting magic plants also have module composition, and in terms of research and development, it is an acceleration cheat.

But now, what Lu needs most is someone to guide him on how to use this "cheat" so that he can get the results he wants as soon as possible.

The official of the East Country not only sent a great gift and attitude, but also hoped to see Lu Pingan's "results" as soon as possible.

The network of light trees, light flowers, and signal towers has become a part of the infrastructure of the entire world. At the same time, its weapon pool is also part of the official big order.

"The first project team is mainly the underwater lantern series. Even with the blessing of underwater vision (the ability has limits), we still need a lot of underwater lighting."

After the communication, the research team also started working directly.

Underwater lanterns are very important in this world. But in the other world where God's grace is mostly ineffective, it is a strategic device like a lifeline.

In the counterattack in the grand strategy, it is necessary to have good logistics equipment. I am afraid that these underwater lights must not only be used in this world, but also reach the level of the multiverse, which requires a lot of effectiveness tests.

"The second project team, the research goal is heating. We need a portable 'hand warmer', which is very deadly in the low temperature environment of deep water."

Before the war started, logistics and research and development came first. After paying his allegiance, Lu Ping'an was further integrated into the military industry system of the East.

And handing him this national-level major project also means that the East regards him as one of its own. This is destined to be a long-term large order of national military industry.

Even if it is just to make lamps, this is an astronomical profit, not to mention that the potential of lamp flowers is definitely not limited to this.

Of course, Lu Ping'an is not so honest. Since he has a group of powerful R&D personnel, he naturally handed over some of the difficulties that were stuck in his evolutionary path to them.

"The fifth project team, the research focus is on 'oak chess pieces'."
